It is found across the Oriental Region, and its range also extends through the Indian subcontinent. It is a falcon of the hierofalcon group and is closely related to the lanner falcon in appearance, though it is darker overall. Young birds show a very dark underside, and first-year birds still keep much dark on the belly. It was described by Gray, JE, 1834.
